Abstract
A computer system has a bus, a connector for a circuit card, and a clamp configured to selectively prevent removal of the circuit card from the connector when the clamp is engaged. The computer system has circuitry connected to monitor the engagement status of the clamp and to regulate delivery of power to the connector based on the engagement state of the clamp.
